Dibden is a small village and civil parish in the New Forest District of Hampshire, England, which dates from the Middle Ages. The parish includes the settlements of Hythe and Dibden Purlieu. It lies between the eastern edge of the New Forest and the southwester shore of Southampton Water. Dibden parish was part of the New Forest Rural District from 1894 until 1974. In 1913 it was increased in size when Hythe (see below) was transferred from Fawley parish.

Hythe

the text in this section is based on an article in Wikipedia

Hythe is a town near Southampton with a 21st century population in the vicinity of 20,000. It is located on the southwest shore of Southampton Water, and has a pier railway and ferry service connecting it to Southampton Docks which are directly opposite. This operates at half-hourly intervals throughout the day, and is the oldest working pier train in the world.

The church of St. John the Baptist, Hythe, erected in 1874, is of red brick, with Bath stone dressings, in thirteenth-century style. The register dates from 1823. (Source: Extreme end of Victoria County History of Hampshire, volume 3, chapter on Fawley.)
